New F-150 with 13,200 lb tow rating!
I just purchased a brand new 2018 F-150 Lariat with the 3.5L Ecoboost motor a couple nights ago. It has the max tow package and the 3.55 gears giving it a tow rating of 13,200 pounds! I used to have...

My 13 F150 has #1920 payload on the sticker. I tow a #5000 GVWR 22' TT with it.
Sure, it can tow a lot more and I'd go to around a #7500 GVWR TT if I were to get a new one, but not really needing anything that big anyway..
Anyway, that "tow rating" is not really meant for a TT.. Usually a boat or flat bed car hauler where you can adjust the tongue weight.
TT's will have a lot more tongue weight in general and your hitch is probably only rated for so much too.
But, with only #1450 or whatever it was in payload on your truck, I would be only looking at trailers with no more than #7500 GVWR.
Good luck!
